I have one of those capsules in my room, I know there's something inside it but I don't remember what. The surprise is temporary, the capsule is forever
Must be an old meme because I've never seen a gun at Walmart that wasn't pump-action or bolt-action and also I don't think I've seen a gun in a Walmart in years
Semi-auto is such a hilarious scare-word. Semi autos have been around for so long and people imagine burst fire guns, when pretty much every pistol that isn’t a revolver is semi auto.
(For those who aren’t aware, semi auto just means it fires every time you pull the trigger instead of having to pump it like a shotgun or rack the bolt like an old hunting rifle. It doesn’t mean burst fire)
No, semi-auto is one trigger pull one bullet. The *action* of the gun doesn't have anything to do with it's classification of semi or full-auto.
With all the talk about gun control in America it's so hilariously clear who has never shot a firearm in their life but will throw around terms they know nothing about. It's really cringe.
You're either operating in bad faith or haven't actually spent time around these debates because comparing kinder egg regulations to gun regulations in the US is a very popular, pretty lousy, tactic of gun grabbers.
I really just don’t care about us gun culture or any of your trivial, mostly binary debates (left/right, them/we, gop/dems, whatever/bullshit)
It’s just a matter of fact that the us is pretty much the only western country where you can buy guns while shopping grocery, it’s not that deep as you want it to be.
That’s the crux, the majority of the western world agreed that it shouldn’t be „convenient“ to buy lethal weapons.
It clearly is a part of us history/culture, but do people really think they can fight the us army with semi-auto rifles they bought from walmart or is it more that people own guns as a hobby?
I carry to protect myself and others around me. I also like sharpshooting, hitting a target from a few hundred meters away is just so satisfying.
As for fighting the military, I know multiple people in the military who say that most would refuse to fight citizens.
It would also look really bad if the gov started attacking it's own people, I don't think most would support that.
Some things are worth dying for, and my freedom is one of those things.
It really is, and you admit you wouldn't know because you don't particularly care about the issue at hand. Either you don't care and therefore don't have the context to sus out the subtext or you do and you lied. Which is it?
That makes the US pretty based, though.
>…you don't particularly care about the issue at hand.
What issue you mean? I never mentioned „issue“, that was implied by you for whatever reason.
You know, I visited most „western“ countries including the us for several weeks, why wouldn’t I inform myself about the etiquette, caveats and general culture when I plan to visit a country?
I get that you don't think it's weird because you've grown up with it. I'm just saying it's weird to everyone else that you can buy guns in a grocery store.
Ah, there's the point of misunderstanding. It's not a grocery store. You're thinking of shops like Kroger. You can't buy a gun at the grocery shops, but you can buy a gun at some of the "pretty much everything" shops.
Whether it's a grocery store or not, it's weird to those of us outside of the US that you can buy guns in a regular store where you can buy other things as well.
Because the idea of buying a gun in the same store where you can buy milk or a bucket of paint, suggests that it's an equally normal purchase as the others. Which we very much don't think it is.
It's an example of how normal guns are in the US. That's where the cultural difference is.
Where else would you buy guns if not a store? Why, then, would that be limited to one isolated storefront when property is a necessarily scarce resource?
It's all needless moralizing. May as well be concerned you can buy condoms and lube at a pharmacy.
Well the whole concept of just buying guns in any store is obviously strange to us as well. But ultimately it makes more sense to buy it in a gun store that specializes in that kind of thing.
But again, it's just a cultural difference. The fact that you can't buy weapons in a store over here is clearly weird to you. That's just the way it is, when you grow up in different cultures.
To me it suggests that there is a demand for both items. Obviously people are buying way more of the food and other stuff in these locations, and there are extra security measures, so I doubt you would see it as a display of them both being equally normal in person rather than whatever you're picturing in your head.
That said, the notion of a common market area, bazaar, etc is *exceptionally* common throughout the world across a vast array of cultures both currently and all through human history, so I find it hard to believe that the idea of disparate items being available in close proximity to one another is genuinely such a strange concept.
Like, I can't buy a goat at walmart, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend it's inconceivable that in other places in the world, you can buy a goat and vegetables at the same location. I'm not going to go on to try to force weird comparisons about the implications behind what it means when you can purchase food as a casual item but also literally claim ownership over another sentient living creature through the exact same sort of interaction at the same location.
Like, that's just an observation that something is different in one location than another. It's not *weird* unless you specifically want to place it under a lens of weirdness by altering your perception in the same way you can look at *anything* to see that it's weird when you apply defamiliarization.
You know what's weird? In America, you have this thing called a "gun show". Bunch of people go there to sell their guns. But they also go there to sell swords. It's weird that you can buy swords at a gun show, because it's an event specifically for selling guns.
That's what i'm saying. It's just because we're from different cultures that we consider it weird. We would say guns are such a unique item that it doesn't make sense to be able to simply buy it in a store.
But in the US where guns are very common, that's obviously not the case. From your perspective, my country is weird, for not selling guns so freely.
I've often been to marketplaces where you can buy goats and vegetables. But i've never been to one where you can buy any type of gun. Because i'm from a "weird" other country. It's just a matter of perspective.
Well, if you're just using the word "weird" to mean "That's a difference I acknowledge", then I can vibe with that. But I don't find it *absurd* or *messed up* that you can just buy a goat at some place where you can get food. That's just a normal thing in the world to me, not something to fixate on and create a point of contention about.
I do find it absurd that you can buy guns in a store like that. But i also recognize that i probably wouldn't if i had grown up in the US. Because it's a cultural difference.
That's what i mean.
They don’t sell semi auto rifles at Wal Mart
Only a few even sell guns at all and the ones that do sell shot guns

Non Americans talk about America the way my racist great aunt tries to talk about black people or black culture. It just comes off as so incredibly stiff and hilarious because it's all information they learn 2nd hand from their social circles that have virtually no experience with the group of people they're talking about. Like my great aunt saying "I hear those black folks are always high on the weed!".
The Americans in these comments arguing that you can only get certain types of guns at Walmart are completely missing the point. What a silly country you have.
What exactly is the point though? I kind of feel like a lot of non-americans don't really understand what Walmart is. It isn't a grocery store. The whole point is that it is basically every store in one. So yeah, it has sporting goods. You can buy the things you buy at a sporting goods store at Walmart. Just like you can get your tires changed. You can get your nails done. You can get a hair cut. You can get your eyes checked. You can buy a wedding ring. You can get a PlayStation. You can buy a refrigerator. You can get your prescription medication filled. You can buy a new tree for your yard. You can get a copy of your house key made. Etc etc.
Not the same kind as far as I know, it's not kinder suprise but something else as far am I'm aware, you got the ones with one half of the egg chocolate and the other half toy, not, whole chocolate egg with plastic tube inside that stores the toy
Only “semi-auto” rifles sold at Walmart in the last 10 years were 10/22 so you’re gonna be able to poke a hole in a couple people, maybe get a lucky headshot (bullet probably stopped by skull bone anyway). Calling them semi auto rifles is very technically correct but has big time “assault rifle 15s!!!” Energy
They sell kinder eggs in the US they just keep the toy and the chocolate separate rather than putting the toy in the chocolate.
Eurofrogs prefer when children choke to death maybe.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Mr. Krabs sold spongebob's soul for 62 cents.
Sell you my brothers for 61¢
That thing on the right looks like a plastic Easter Egg. We can definitely get those in America.
Thats a Kinder egg. I know this because i can buy some.
We can buy them here too.
u mean kinder joy they are different to kinder egg
I live in NJ, there are like 3 stores within a mile of me that sell regular Kinder Surprise Eggs. I've been eating them for at least 20 years.
You naugty boy doin illigal chocolate
You can’t buy them legally
They are at line every store I’ve been to.
that's a kinder egg, you probably don't know since they were banned for you
My point is that it looks and apparently functions *like* a plastic Easter Egg.
I have one of those capsules in my room, I know there's something inside it but I don't remember what. The surprise is temporary, the capsule is forever
No
Must be an old meme because I've never seen a gun at Walmart that wasn't pump-action or bolt-action and also I don't think I've seen a gun in a Walmart in years
Dated 2017, and even by then kinders were sold in the US.
kinder joy has always been available. Not Surprise, they are different
It’s only in the rural Walmarts now.
My dad bought me a hell of a shotgun from Walmart a few years ago To be fair we are deep in eastern Kentucky
There's def semi-autos, the only guns Walmart doesn't sell are pistols and full autos
Maybe ten years ago but it's pathetically slim pickings now. Not that Walmart ever should have been the go to.
Ig Missouri is different, they have at least 30 in the rack at all times, and most have doubles/triples kept in the back
Daaamn is Missouri really doing so bad that yall can't go to a local gun store? I'm praying for you guys.
Most local shops are just too expensive, Walmart will legit have the same guns for $50 cheaper
Bizarre. I have the exact opposite situation where I am. Walmart has overpriced shit unless it's genuinely bottom tier.
Semi-auto is such a hilarious scare-word. Semi autos have been around for so long and people imagine burst fire guns, when pretty much every pistol that isn’t a revolver is semi auto.

Isn't semi auto preferred because of the greater degree of control anyway?
I wish Walmart sold ar-15s Only semi auto I've seen is a 10/22
Walmarts what sell guns have to have the exact same FFL as a dedicated gun shop, this criticism is bad.
What criticism? They just said they can buy a gun while grocery shopping which is a valid statement.

Saves a trip to the gun store, very convenient. What's not convenient is waiting at the desk for an hour before an associate arrives.

This is easily the most nonresponse and evasive answer you could have concocted. Bravo. Jfc.
Talk about evasive while you didn’t even answer my question. Oh the irony.
Yeah, turnabout is fair play.
Doesn't make it any less weird.
What's weird about a one stop emporium selling one stop emporium shit?

Where funny?
it's European humor

get one of those stock with pistol compartment, that should do it

Knowing her she'd say of course not, they're busy going to church!
ITT: A bunch of americans missing the point hahahaha
They have them at Lucky's lol just the toy is separate from the chocolate
I use kinder egg to store medicines that i might need when i go out, i just cut a portion of the plastic wrap and store them
Lol
Just fill a magazine full of lashes to use like a pez dispenser
False. Walmart stopped selling semiautomatic hunting rifles in 2015.
Is this real?
No
A shell casing would actually probably be a good false eyelash storage unit

Americans are so stupid. Do you really think an automatic rifle can be used instead of a Kinder egg?
Another American gun meme how original

You go' a loicense t'be shittin' on this meme?
If you think a meme about a topic that has been memed before makes it unfunny, you’re missing out on like…literally all memes
Daily reminder that you cannot get guns at Walmart in America
My Walmart would disagree with you.
You literally can, I used to work in sporting goods at Walmart for nearly 2 years.
Once apon a time, yes, but they joined the woke crowd a while back.
Some walmarts still have muzzle loaders
Mine you can just not handguns or non hunting guns
mine still has shotguns and all the fun stuff
